President Moshe Katzav said today that the attacks in the U.S. are a turning point in the history of mankind: \"The world has changed, and it must be rebuilt anew on strong moral foundations… The wave of attacks yesterday is a declaration of war against the free world, against morality and justice, and we must not surrender.\" President Katzav blamed Iran, Syria, and the Palestinian Authority for incitement leading to yesterday\'s cataclysmic terrorism.
US Ambassador to Israel Dan Kurtzer convened a press conference this morning in which he emotionally thanked the State of Israel and its citizens for its solidarity and help to the United States in its difficult hour. He spoke in Hebrew as well as in English.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said that the attacks in the U.S. are the signal of the beginning of a worldwide war against terrorism.
Knesset Members such as Tzvi Hendel (National Union-Yisrael Beiteinu) called upon the government to take advantage of the new situation and strike out against Palestinian terrorism. Hendel said that the world will understand and justify action against Arafat and his terrorist army. MK Collette Avital (Labor) said that such action will not exempt us from solving our problems with the Palestinians. MK Benny Elon, currently in New York, told Arutz-7 today that the residents of New York, including the Jews there, are still far from comprehending the full scope of the tragedy that befell them.
